Transformers Animated: The Game

TRANSFORMERS Animated: The Game, developed under license from
Hasbro, Inc. (NYSE: HAS), is now available in retail stores
nationwide. Based on Hasbro and Cartoon Network‚Äôs animated
television series, TRANSFORMERS Animated: The Game delivers an
exciting action-adventure experience, allowing players to take
control of their favorite AUTOBOT characters as they work together
to reclaim lost fragments of the ALLSPARK, the source of all
Transformers life.

‚ÄúTRANSFORMERS Animated: The Game adds to the mystique and
success of the Cartoon Network‚Äôs animated television series,
by extending the TRANSFORMERS universe onto Nintendo
DS‚ĄĘ,‚ÄĚ said Kim Salzer, vice president of global brand
management, Activision, Inc. ‚ÄúWe are thrilled to continue our
incredible collaboration with Hasbro, and bring yet another
innovative, interactive experience to fans of this
highly-successful TRANSFORMERS franchise.‚ÄĚ

Providing an experience that extends beyond the animated series,
TRANSFORMERS Animated: The Game thrusts fans into the action with
gameplay elements that include platforming, blasting through
DECEPTICON-controlled hoverbots, solving side-scrolling puzzles and
slot-car racing-inspired driving challenges. Players instantly
switch between AUTOBOT team members to work out a number of
teamwork-based puzzles in up to 20 different levels. They‚Äôll
race through a fictitious 22nd century Detroit, dodging on-coming
traffic while seamlessly converting between robot and vehicle-form,
utilising the special abilities of OPTIMUS PRIME, BUMBLEBEE,
BULKHEAD and PROWL. Working as a team and combining the abilities
of each character is the key to reaching the ultimate goal ‚Äď
intercepting the missing pieces of the ALLSPARK before the
DECEPTICONS.

and Movement exclusively for Nintendo DS‚ĄĘ and is rated 7+ by
PEGI.

Initially only weekend passes will be available, but single day tickets will be on sale closer to the convention should spaces still be available. There will be an extra special programme of activities running on Saturday evening until the early hours of Sunday, but these will be exclusive to weekend attendees!

The convention will be held at our new venue, The Holiday Inn Birmingham City Centre, which is on Smallbrook Queensway, Birmingham, right in the heart of Birmingham City Centre, England. It is an ideal location for anyone travelling to Birmingham from anywhere in the UK and is just 2 minutes walk from Birmingham New Street Station!

We have run a number of surveys to find out exactly what you want from Auto Assembly 2009 and we will be tailoring the activities and events to suit YOU the attendees. There will be so much going on that you won't have time to rest - from guest talks to video screenings, workshops to toy and art displays, dealers and competitions, a charity auction and games area, quizzes and much more besides.

Talking of voice actors, we will be having not one but TWO voice actors joining us at Auto Assembly 2009 to join in the celebrations!

We already have our first three guests confirmed - first up is legendary TF artist Andrew Wildman making his sixth appearance at Auto Assembly, secondly is IDW and Titan colourist Liam Shalloo, and third we have John McCrea whose Transformers work includes Titan Magazines Transformers and Transformers Animated titles. We will be announcing more over the next few days. We are also in the final stages of discussions with our first voice actor and hope to announce them in the next 7 days and the second actor in the next few weeks!

Ticket prices will be £45 for adults and £35 for concessions with reductions to just £40 and £30 for a limited period once bookings open for early registrations! We have also managed to negotiate for reduced accommodation rates in the Holiday Inn hotel for their superb bedrooms and these will be posted on the website.

We are also working our traditional goodie bag of free gifts for attendees and this is going to be our most spectacular yet. As always, there will be more gifts the earlier you register but this will include keyrings, postcards, DVDs (for the first 40+) and much more!! There will also be added bonuses for pre-registrants and if that wasn't enough, we are also looking at ways of improving our pre-registration system to make things smoother and faster than ever for all of you attending.

Bookings will open soon so keep an eye on the Auto Assembly website and all the usual Transformers websites and forums for all the latest news and developments as we have them.

We hope to see many of you there next year for what we think will be the biggest and best Auto Assembly ever!
